Ya...just imagine if the MWC still had bWHYu, TCU, and Utah as members. Our conference isn't close to resembling a MWC line-up like that. But looking at our schedule (conference) I have a hard time seeing more than 2 wins. 3 maybe. Assuming we are basically in the same shoes as last year (considering offensively we may be better - but defensively we are going to struggle)...ragtimejoe1 wrote:I'm on the opposite side. I realize we aren't that good right now, but neither is, well, virtually anyone not named BSU in the MWC.
For hell's sake, there isn't a nickel's worth of difference between teams outside of the T2 or T3 of the MWC.
I get the rebuild, tempered enthusiasm thing. I get that there will be (or damn sure better be) lots of close games that can go either way. However, even VK teams could have competed in this MWC.
Last year was bad in the MWC. Next year will be worse. This is absolutely the worst the MWC has ever been, by a lot. Some of our "bad" teams in the past would be T3 next year.
New Mexico will be better this year
Air Force will be better this year
Nevada - we have a shot because it is at home
Boise State - no comment
Utah State - will be better this year
CSewe - defensively they will be better this year - if they find a QB lookout
SDSU - they will be better this year
UNLV - we have a shot because it is at home
